      Got into my Bugeye yesterday to drive to the dog park with my Boston
Terrier.  I was a little surprised when the ignition light would not go out
after I got the engine running.  It started easy enough, but I was now
running on the battery.  I am still using a generator that was rebuilt over
20 years and 7,000 miles ago.  The voltage regulator was converted to solid
state eight or more years ago.  Nothing apparent looking under the bonnet.
I was hoping it was just the fan belt. No such luck.  Generator, generator
brushes?  I have a replacement generator, but I don't want to just start
throwing parts at it until the light goes out.  Maybe try to just
re-polarize the generator first?  I have a degree in mechanical design, not
electrical.  Hate electrical problems.

Repolarizing it won't fix it.  Either the brushes are worn out or the regulator has failed.  Or maybe a wire connection is bad.   :-(

Hello Michael,

Take it to one of those places that does a free electrical system check. They'll tell you if it's charging or not... 

They'd like to sell you  a new genny if it's not, but won't have one.. .. LOLOLOL..

Gee, Moss has new ones and they are only $300.  Add shipping and tax and
you're heading for $350!  Rebuilding mine looks better all the time.

Hi Mike,

I'm running this unit in my Bugeye. It is an alt in a gen case and has 
the tach drive, looks just like an Original.

This is if you want to spend the money.

Drive Negative Ground (bpnorthwest.com)

Mike,

After switching to alternators on my 3 LBC?s, I have a couple of spares lying around taking up space and collecting dust. I?ll never use them so they?re yours for the cost of shipping from the east coast if you?d like.

Generator is out of the car. It's off to the rebuild shop to check it out
tomorrow morning.  I originally mounted it without rebuilding when I
restored the car in 1999.  It was working OK, so I thought I would save
some money, painted it green and put it in.  The car ran from 1960 to 1976
before it was taken off the road.  That's 16 plus 24 years in service
without a hiccup.  Yes, maybe the brushes need replacement, at least.  If
it's not rebuildable, I will be looking for a core to rebuild.  I'll
probably know by tomorrow.

If I hadn't swapped to an Alternator years ago then this is the sort of
thing I'd be interested today, that wasn't around then.

Apologies in advance in case I'm talking out of my backside, but does the
generator (dynamo) need a good bulb to work?  Or put another way, if the
bulb dies does the generator fail to charge?

Somebody else. . .in between fitting ceiling coving.

Took the generator to a rebuild shop this morning.  It will be there until
Monday or Tuesday.  I asked them to see if there was any output just out of
curiosity.  He said he could barely get a flicker of electricity out of it
even at high RPM.  Now when I get it back hopefully the voltage regulator
(solid state) is functioning correctly.

Without a bulb to act as a load/ trigger the generator will not know to charge. Even with a Genernator I needed to leave an Analog Bulb in the circuit in order for Genernator to work. I converted to SpeedHut Gauges and have a Red LED in one of the gauges to show if voltage drops/ engine not running. The Analog Bulb needs to be in the circuit in order for the Red LED to light to act as a load. .

Well said David and I just read the sad news about Jim Johnson a few
minutes ago. Now rereading I see he passed in February, sorry I didn't know
he was ill. Great Spridget men who now race with the angels Over the
Rainbow Bridge. RIP Jim.

List,
I was just chatting with a fellow Spridgiteer Allen Fisher asI had reposted
a photo of the Holy Sprite group from 2011 on Facebook, see attached. I
wondered where it is now? More importantly where is Michael Rowe who
purchased it from Father Jack after Frank Clarici passed away.

Anyone know the whereabouts of the Holy Sprite or Michael Rowe?
Attached is the photo and the list of names on the photo. I had just heard
today that Jim Johnson passed away in February of this year. Heaven sure
has a lot of very handy Spridigiteers now. There is no excuse for any angel
to not be driving a Sprite.

I don?t know where the Holy Sprite is, but I still have the Midget
that Father Jack sold to raise funds for the Holy Sprite project.
It?s been neglected a bit, and is available to any lister that wants
to come and get it.

Took the Bugeye to the dogpark for the third day in a row today.  Parked
the car in the parking lot for a couple of hours. As soon as I started it
up there was a very loud rod knock.  This engine (1275) has less than 3
thousand miles on it.  Engine was punched out to 1330. It has 1.5 rockers,
ARP hardware, head combustion chambers were CC'd. ported/polished, timing
belt conversion, distributor rebuilt by Advanced Distributttor, single
HIF44 carb and Maniflow exhaust. In other words I have dumped a lot of
money in this engine.  I thought I might get a few more miles on it than
this. Crap.

I just replaced the conventional bulbs in my negative ground 1966 AH Sprite
with LED bulbs. The old flasher is a Novita EL13 with terminals X, P, & L.
(X = power, L = Indicator load, & P = Panel lights). Because this is a
thermal flasher and LED's don't produce much of a load, the flasher doesn't
work- which I expected. Now I'm having a tough time figuring out what the
plug-and-play equivalent flasher is. Under the hood & looking at the socket
pinout for the flasher the power is on the right, the panel lights are on
the top and the corner lights are on the left.

What should I be looking for as a replacement?

Thanks

Tim
